GlossaryScoring method

Raw Numbers

Definition

A MoveTogether competition scoring method that adds up total activity: Active Calories, Exercise Minutes, and a step contribution in one points total. The closest method to 'whoever moved the most wins.' The app labels it Total Activity.

Two very different athletes side by side, showing fitness comes in every form.

How MoveTogether uses it.

Raw Numbers uses the same formula as Move Leagues and the Friends and Global leaderboards: move calories + exercise minutes + ROUND(steps / 100).

Steps are divided by 100 so a 10,000-step day does not swamp the other two numbers and turn the method into a step race. Sharing the league formula has a practical upside: whatever moves you up your league also moves you up a Raw Numbers competition. It suits groups with similar fitness levels. For very mixed groups, Percentage of Goals is the better fit.
